Obtain browser url value in php

Question

How to get address in the browser using php. I want a way in which I can fetch the url value that is present in the browser. If I manually add a #tag to the existing url then I want to retrieve that as well.

I have used this code till now, but I want to retrieve https or http whatever value is in the browser.

Also this is my url: http://example.com/xyz/?p=65

but suppose I build up the 2nd url manually then I would like to retrieve that as well http://example.com/xyz/?p=65#fsgsg

      $Path=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
      echo  $URI= 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$Path;

the hash tag part is not send to the server, this is only used to scroll to a certain element or in javascript — EaterOfCode, Apr 01 '14 at 09:29
the "#tag" is not sent to the server so the only way to do this would be with some javsscript to send it manually — Rene Koch, Apr 01 '14 at 09:30

The part behind the # is not delivered to the browser. You could however run a tiny javascript that sends you that information since it is available to the DOM (But do you really want that?) via the window object.

For getting has parameter,use below --

$url = 'http://amitbera.com/path?arg=value#anchor';

print_r(parse_url($url));

echo parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);

More details in http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

Also,For gettting arg value use $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

Your only option is to handle that parameter in javascript because the # (hash) part wont get sent to the backend side, You can just detect click of the target element in JS and then glue the # part as a parameter like '&hashValue=fsgsg'.

I hope that helps You in some way.
